Take your drivetrain to new heights with the new Deore XT lineup, then point your bike back downhill and keep on shredding. This year the Shimano Deore XT group got a makeover, and no, we're not talking about a fru-fru spa day and a new hair stylist. The Shimano Deore XT Cassette is 10-speed this year, giving you plenty of gear options so you can perform at your best.

Using this on an alloy freehub body, so I wanted multiple gears spidered on wide carrier. Seems like old XT had 5 or 6 gears on one wide carrier. Hopefully this will work ok and hold up as well as old XT cassettes did.

I had an accident on my 24sp road bike which was partially due to dropping my chain on the front chain-ring. I decided to make my 3x8 into a 1x10 by utilizing some mtn. bike parts. The Deore XT line became my parts of choice; 11-36 cassette, rear derailleur and shifter mounted on an old school Scott bar. I changed the front 3 rings into a single ring 48 tooth. I absolutely love it. I still have the same range of gears without the over lap. The design of the cassette works great with the other pieces; it's like they were made to work with each other. Wait, they were!
